"Come on, come on!" Ren Danqing, who was watching the scene of the crime from the front, waved when he saw everyone: "Master Lu, Girl Yun, hurry up and take a look. This corpse is too..."

Ren Danqing clenched the folding fan in his hand to gather strength, but did not say the next words for a long time.

Yun Xi became more and more curious about what kind of corpse it was, which made the well-informed Master Ren and Master Ran hesitate to speak.

A snakeskin bag was thrown beside the shallows of the canal.

Yun Xi put on her transparent gloves and took two steps forward. After opening the snakeskin bag, the unpleasant oily smell suddenly penetrated her nose.

Two fingers connected together were exposed from the corner of the bag.

It's the index finger and middle finger.

Yun Xi slowly lifted up her finger. She could clearly see that the cut surface of the finger was swollen and flat. It looked like someone had cut the body open with a sword or other weapon... There was no blood stain on the incision... I'm afraid it was still wet.

Cooked.

When the snakeskin bag was unfolded again, the internal organs, ribs and other objects inside could be identified. It was a bag of thoroughly cooked corpses.

Yun Xi quickly covered the snakeskin bag again, fearing that the people who were looking around would see it.

But where was the chance? The villagers who found the body were so frightened that they recognized the human finger and reported it to the police.

"Oh my God! This corpse has been cooked!" Qingguo's little face wrinkled up: "What a grudge! If you don't kill enough people, you still have to cut the corpse into pieces!"

"Not only this bag, but the villagers also fished out two bags from upstream just now."

Master Ren felt uncomfortable as he spoke. He pointed at Ran Piao: "It happened after Mr. Ran went to report the news."

"That's not all."

"Yun Wuzuo, what's more?" Ran Piao was confused. It couldn't be what he thought, right?

"The corpses and internal organs in the bag do not belong to the same person. I am afraid there is more than one deceased person. I suspect there should be more than these body parts."

Since the murderers would separate their bodies and dump them near the water source of the village, I'm afraid some of them would be washed downstream.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qingfan immediately shouted: "Leng Hai."

"My subordinates are here!" Leng Hai emerged from the crowd and said with clasped fists, "What is your mission, sir?"

"Take Fan Zhi with you and search the entire area around the ditch to find the corpse in the same snakeskin bag as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Leng Hai took the order and took Fan Zhi and others downstream to look for the corpse.

Lu Qingfan saw the snakeskin bags that Yunyi had been staring at: "Are you going to kill the corpses on the spot or..."

"Thank you, sir." Yun Xi smiled gratefully. There was quite a tacit understanding between her and Mr. Lu.

It’s not that the broken corpses cannot be transported to the Ministry of Punishments for disposal.

But Yun Xi already had a strong dislike for the murderer subjectively.

It is really outrageous and disgraceful to treat the dead body like this without giving a nod to the murderer.

Given the current condition of the corpse, the fastest and most stable way is to piece together the body on the spot and discover the identity of the deceased.

Yunxi intuitively felt that there were many clues left in the village where the body was abandoned.

The villagers come and go, and I don’t know how many clues have been destroyed. It is best to leave the autopsy to investigate.

Lu Qingfan also considered this, so he nodded and said: "Okay."

He turned around and called a villager to find the village chief and cooperate in arranging autopsy, solving the case and other matters.

Unexpectedly, the village chief had been waiting early, and when he heard Lu Qingfan calling him, he hurried forward to pay his respects.

The village chief, Sun Ru, is over fifty years old and has never seen an official of such high rank as Lu Qingfan. At this moment, when he paid his respects and saluted, there was a hint of sincerity and fear on his face.

"The little old man has seen the adults..."

"No need to be formal, are there any uninhabited houses nearby? We need to expropriate one or two, conduct autopsies on the spot, and solve the problem of the villagers' water sources being contaminated."

Lu Qingfan said this because he wanted not to scare these villagers and described the case as less horrifying as possible.

Upon hearing this, the village chief Sun Ru did not doubt that he was there, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, sir, please come here!"

Yun Xi did not follow Lu Qingfan to arrange a private house for the autopsy, but took Qingguo along to look for clues along the canal.

"Miss, the water here will definitely wash away the evidence. What are we looking for here?" Qingguo followed for a while, not knowing what his lady was looking for.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Qingguo, what do you think the murderer's purpose was for cooking the corpse?"

"Just cover up the traces." Qingguo is simple-minded and only relies on intuition to understand things.

Yun Xi nodded, she also thought she wanted to cover up the traces.

"Then the question is, since he wanted to cover up the traces, he dumped the body near the water, which was enough to cover up the traces, why bother cooking the body?"

Qingguo was dumbfounded by the question, and after a moment he said: "Yes, it seems unnecessary..."

But the criminal will definitely not do anything unnecessary.

There must be some details that they haven't noticed yet.

However, the corpse is too broken now, so we have to find as many pieces of the corpse as possible and piece them together, so that we can gradually make inferences and find clues.

Sure enough, Yun Xi and Qing Guo found two bags of broken corpses hanging under the big rocks of the windmill from upstream. Leng Chuan immediately helped send them to the village house where the corpses were to be placed.

Ren Danqing kept talking to the villagers and recording confessions; Ran Piao visited many working people and asked for clues about the time before and after the body was found.

Everyone is busy performing their duties.

After searching upstream, Yun Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured: "That's about it. Qingguo, we should get ready to go into the water."

"Miss, I didn't bring my rain boots...ah! They're all wet, forget it!" Qingguo gritted his teeth, simply threw away his shoes, stepped directly into the water and started groping.

Yun Xi changed places and touched along the bottom of the green fruit... Occasionally she encountered something hard, and she would squat down and take a closer look.

Many villagers saw the master and servant touching the corpse. Some praised the two girls for their ability, while others said that their clothes were unsightly because they were wet.

The kind-hearted aunt just said that the girl's family had a hard time doing these jobs. She had prepared two sets of clean clothes from home early and changed them when Yun Xi and Qing Guo came ashore to avoid catching cold.

There were also many people who teased and took advantage of Yun Xi's master and servant's wet clothes, and they happened to be listened to by Sun Ru, the village chief who had returned.

"You people just talk without virtue!" Sun Ru couldn't see these people talking without hurting their backs!

"It's you who cried out that the water source was contaminated; it's you who helped us fish out the corpses in the water, and it's you who thought that people's clothes were wet and hindered the weather! Why, all the old men are talking about it.

Don’t you know how to help a girl and say mean words? A little girl who bullies others is also very shameless!"

After saying that, Sun Ru rolled up his trouser legs angrily and went down to help.

"Oh, village chief, you are so old, you can't do it! Let's go, we will do it!"

The village chief is old and highly respected in the hearts of the villagers. If he wades into the fast water and slips due to the rapids, no matter how strong his body is, he will not be able to withstand it!

With the initiative of the village chief Sun Ru, many young and middle-aged villagers entered the ditch with their trousers rolled up and groped for the corpse along the middle.

Yun Xi and Qing Guo were completely unaware of the incident on the shore. They thought the villagers were eager to help and couldn't help but express their gratitude.

When these words of thanks were spoken, the villagers who had spoken harshly just now blushed and felt ashamed.

With help, the time to recover the body was greatly shortened.

When Yun Xi and Qing Guo changed into clean clothes, drank ginseng soup to ward off the cold, and arrived at the bungalow where the temporary autopsy was conducted, they both took a deep breath when they looked at the dozens of snakeskin bags filled with them.

"Miss, do we have to play a Pinpin game?" Qingguo asked.

"Isn't that right..." Yun Xi rolled up her sleeves and said calmly: "Come on, let's do it."

The body had been cooked and soaked in water, so it was difficult to determine the time of death. Some of the subtle differences on the body were also mixed up with a lot of evidence due to such cruel techniques, making it difficult to piece together the body.

The most difficult thing is that there are so many bodies and the bodies are so broken that it is extremely difficult to distinguish them with just the naked eye.

After Yun Xi made a simple division, he then made a detailed split and longitudinal comparison based on the skin condition and internal organs of the deceased...

Simply dividing the corpse into five parts took most of the day.

After Lu Qingfan read the confession, he came to look for Yun Xi. What he saw was Yun Xi's master and servant slumped to the side, and the body was still in a miserable state.

"Are you tired?" Lu Qingfan felt sorry for Yun Xi, and his voice became softer.

He also heard everything about what happened by the ditch today.

That Sun Ru is quite capable.

"Yes, it takes a lot of effort to distinguish so many body parts, but fortunately they are almost done. Qingguo and I took a break and then started piecing together the bodies."

Lu Qingfan's dark eyes tightened, looking at the five piles on the desk...
